damn it, now I have to split the jackpot with 3500 MRF registered users. Some of them even take 2 or 3 shares

Note to self: add new MRF registrations quickly

From a non-player, I want to thank all those who do donate money to the state in the form of this voluntary tax, usually hitting the poor the hardest.

unlike most taxes lotto is a choice. it doesn't count as a 'hit' in my book if the blow is self-inflicted. i think people who spend a large percentage of their precious income on lotto are making a really bad choice. i also think spending money you really can't afford on alcohol, cigarettes, cable, and big screen tvs are bad choices . funny how no one ever hints that having those items available hits the poor hardest.
